Fatwood is the resin rich heartwood that is found in decaying pine stumps in southern pine forests. Some people call it by other names such as lighter, heartwood and kindling but these are often not true fatwood. Fatwood comes only from pine trees and it is the resin rich portion of the pine tree stump that is true fatwood. Wood from other softwood or hardwood trees is not fatwood. Fatwood is completely natural pine sticks that are extremely rich in resin. It is cut from the old pine stumps that are found in the woods after the trees were tapped for resin and then cut for lumber long ago. The tapping operation resulted in resin rich sections of stump that remained when the other portions decomposed. To use your fatwood simply place one or two sticks among your stacked logs and light them. The fatwood is so rich in resign that one match easily lights a piece and the burning sticks will start your fire in a natural way. They give a delightful aroma to the hearth. Fatwood can be used to start wood fires in fireplaces, campfires, and because the product is completely natural they can be used to start charcoal cooking fires as well. Fatwood does not leave any residue behind and should be handled exactly the same way as natural firewood. This fatwood bundle measures 4" round x 8" high and weighs 2 lbs.
